Julia's Turkey + Ricotta Meatballs

On Saturday morning I watch CBS Saturday Morning. My very favorite part of this show is when they highlight a chef. They tell the chef's story, have a big table filled with food and usually a drink.
And they interview the chef and have them sign a white plate and tell who they would most list to share 'this' meal with.

Something about friendly Julia Turshen had me ordering her cookbook within minutes.

Now. I am a sucker for cookbooks.

But I have to be honest, I rarely make ANYTHING!!

I continue to make my old standbys.

But, I tried Julia's Turkey + Ricotta meatballs.

And they were so easy and delicious, I just have to pass it on.

The small victories:

I made something from a cookbook

It turned out GREAT.

I used ground turkey for the first time.

I ate Turkey + Ricotta meatballs for five days.

Used a side of my ancient grater for the Parmesan cheese and it was amazing.

Cookbooks are my favorite. I am currently reading through Smitten Kitchen Everyday and find the author’s humorous writing just what I need. I am going to make myself try 10 of her recipes. I already buy fabric and don’t sew, so I better not buy cookbooks and not cook ��

These meatballs sound so good- I am going to try them! I own several cookbooks that I have not made one things out of. Why??? Like you, I head for the old standard recipes. You have inspired me, though, because I love ground turkey. It makes delicious tacos and I just used it in spaghetti sauce last night.
